Andrea's Wedding

My cousin Andrea married her best friend, Josh Sciacca, this weekend at St. Teresa's Church in Central Phoenix.

I am not sure which is longer a Catholic wedding ceremony or a LDS wedding ceremony. I think it might be a tie.
When we were taking pictures after the ceremony, my aunt Terri (aka dancing queen) slipped on one of the steps and to be taken to urgent care. Louderback weddings are always eventful.
Later, everyone headed over to the Palms in Tempe for the reception. Below are some pictures. I love the one of my aunt dancing in the chair when they brought her back from the urgent care. Turns out she broke her ankle :(

Pole Dancing and other shenanigans

Two weekends ago my cousin Andrea had her bachelorette party. Her best friend Anna, who is also her maid of honor, threw the shin dig. I arrived at Express MiE in Tempe not really knowing what to expect. Apparently I, along with my cousin and four of her other friends, was about to embark in a private dance class devoted to the art of pole dancing and lap dances. Let me tell you, pole dancing is not as easy as it seems. A lot of upper body strength is involved. But I am proud to say that now if Nick and I are desperate for money, I can get a job at the local strip club. I would post pictures but I am afraid that they are a little "risky". It was a blast learning the moves in stripper heels and practicing a lap dance on an empty chair. I almost want to put a pole up in the bedroom. JK.


This last weekend Nick and I ran in the Ragnar Relay. Below is a little blurb taken off the Ragnar website for those of you who are unfamiliar with the relay:

You and 11 of your closest friends running 200(ish) miles, day and night, relay-style, through some of the most scenic terrain North America could muster. Add in crazy runners, inside jokes and a mild case of sleep deprivation. The result? Some call it a slumber party without sleep, pillows or deodorant. We call it a Ragnar Relay.

This was my fourth time doing the relay and I have to say it was the best one so far. Below are some pictures from the relay
